Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) returns from injury for the final Premier League match of the day – but the long-serving striker is only among the substitutes for Leicester City’s clash with Arsenal.

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 19:15 GMT.

Vardy is joined on the bench by Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) and it appears from the teamsheets as if Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) is leading the line for the Foxes in north London.

James Maddison (£7.0m) is also handed his first Premier League start of the season, with Ayoze Perez (£6.2m) making way.

Brendan Rodgers has changed to a back three for this game, with Christian Fuchs (£4.5m) drafted into the centre of defence alongside Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.0m).

Arsenal are much changed from the midweek win over Rapid Vienna but compared to their starting XI at Manchester City last weekend, there are only two alterations.

Willian (£7.8m) isn’t fit to feature and Nicolas Pepe (£7.7m) drops to the bench, with Alexandre Lacazette (£8.5m) recalled and Thomas Partey (£5.0m) given his full Premier League debut.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.7m), Arsenal’s most-owned FPL asset, is aiming to avoid a fourth straight blank – he previously hasn’t gone more than three successive Gameweeks without an attacking return since moving to England in 2018.

All of Leicester’s midfielders, including Barnes, are owned by less than 5% of Fantasy bosses.

Their two most popular options are wing-backs James Justin (£4.8m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.8m), who each sit in more than one in five FPL squads.

Those two defenders are the only players from either side who have a double-digit “effective ownership” among the top 10,000 FPL managers.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Justin, Tielemans, Mendy, Praet, Maddison, Barnes.

    What should my priority be here? 2FT 0.7itb

    Martinez
    TAA Saiss Lamptey
    Salah Son Grealish Pulisic
    DCL Ings Jimenez
    (Steer Bissouma KWP Taylor)

    1. Chucky
      6 years, 21 days ago

      team looks good. maybe taylor to kilman

    2. Je suis le chat
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Kane in by binning Pulisic and Jimi/DCL. Can do over 2 weeks.

    3. BeWater
      6 years, 21 days ago

      That's a good team. Don't think you need to do much. I know Jimenez has scored in the last two games but I would move to Ings or Kane as you have two FTs. I know Kane's fixtures get harder but he could gets points against anyone.

  2. Rash
    6 years, 21 days ago

    The way this weekend has gone Burnley will beat spurs tomorrow..

    13 points from 7 🙁

    1. camarozz
      6 years, 21 days ago

      I'm hoping for 40+ pts frm Reguilon/Son/Kane(c)..
      So you're probably spot on.

      1. Rash
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Same 3 plus lamptey for me

  3. camarozz
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Hypothetically is it worth losing Robbo to get Fernandaz and Antonio?

    (obviously if the latter is fit)

    1. King Kohli
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Yes

    2. BeWater
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Who would they be replacing?

    3. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 21 days ago

      No

    4. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Thats my thinking

      1. camarozz
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Replacing Jrod +Watkins

        1. BeWater
          6 years, 21 days ago

          I would say yes. Got Fernandes and looking to get Antonio for Mitrovic right after he plays WBA at home.

  4. OverTinker
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Mahrez to
    1. Grealish
    2. Hames

    1. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Keep

      1. OverTinker
        6 years, 21 days ago

        have Foden too so don't like the double up at the moment

    2. BeWater
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Grealish.

    3. beric
      6 years, 21 days ago

      2

  5. The Train Driver
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Looking at my FPL team this week, looks like binary codes...

    1. BeWater
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Same here. KWP the only one to get me anything.

  6. Ginkapo FPL
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Vardy or Partay?

  7. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Leicester look like they are playing for a 0-0 draw. No urgency to attack at all.

    1. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Waiting for Vardy ...

  8. Trentino
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Jimenez and Ings to Kane & Bamford for -4?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      No way.

    2. Chucky
      6 years, 21 days ago

      no

      1. Trentino
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Let's put it other way... I need Kane. To replace Jimenez or Ings?

        1. Chucky
          6 years, 21 days ago

          I am keeping both so would suggest the same.

        2. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 21 days ago

          Keep Ings

    3. OverTinker
      6 years, 21 days ago

      same question

    4. Bank$y
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Lol

  9. King Kohli
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Best move here?
    A. Pereira + TAA > Son + Kilman
    B. Maupay + Sterling + TAA > Kane + Zaha + Chilwell
    C. Maupay + TAA + Robbo > Kane + Chilwell + Dallas
    D. Any other suggestion

    Martinez Steer
    TAA Robbo Konsa Mitchell Johnson
    Salah Sterling Hamez Pereira Anguissa
    Ings DCL Maupay
    1 FT 0.3 ITB

  10. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Podence first bench in this team. Is it g2g?

    Martinez
    TAA James Dallas
    Salah Sterling Son Foden
    DCL Ings Bamford

    Steere Podence Mitchell Lamptey

    1. g40steve
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Yes, gtg

  11. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    David Luiz lol

    Went bombing forward and got in the way of an Auba shot.

  12. ivantys
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Auba's longest goal drought at Arsenal was 4 games. He's on 4 before today.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      So he'll score?

      1. ivantys
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Nope he has been anonymous since the start of the season that ppl forgot he exists.

  13. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Saka is this generation's welbeck

    A couple of good games a couple of good moments and suddenly youre being compared to the likes of robben and sane

    But ultimately crap

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Nah mate. He just turned 19. Younger than when Welbeck burst onto the scene and he's far more versatile.

      He's actually one of the few English youngsters that deserves the hype imo.

    2. ivantys
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Does he have any good games? I always see him wasting balls by giving away or shooting straight at keepers.

    3. OverTinker
      6 years, 21 days ago

      He seems much better tbh

    4. Pariße
      6 years, 21 days ago

      What’s wrong with you?

    5. AA
      6 years, 21 days ago

      This season so far, he's been Arsenal's best player

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Only TAA & KDB had more assists in all comps last season ...

    7. FPLHaggis
      6 years, 21 days ago

      1. Saka is a good player.
      2. Welbeck was a good player, injuries sadly ruined him.

  14. Bobby
    6 years, 21 days ago

    realise this week hasn't ended yet (wish it had tbh), but whats next week's captain choice - I assume Kane, or still Salah?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      6 years, 21 days ago

      i m going salah

    2. Bobby
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Ive got this dread of swopping the armband between the two and picking the wrong one for weeks on end

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        6 years, 21 days ago

        this is why I am keeping it on Salah. not the following gw though

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Why do you even have spurs players if you're not captaining vs brighton?

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Because you also have other players like Salah.

        1. ivantys
          6 years, 21 days ago

          If you think west ham is an easier game than brighton then go ahead lol

          1. FPL.team
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 21 days ago

            Why lol? Spurs scored 3 against West Ham in 16 minutes, don't see how Liverpool can't do the same and Brighton aren't a bad team.

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Son

    5. F4L
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Kane

    6. FPLHaggis
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Still Salah for me, but will be watching to see how Dunk absence effects Brighton tomorrow.

  15. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Tielemans YC

  16. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Ozil would have been perfect for this type of game

    Lots of possession not much defending to do. Just need more creativity

    Shame about the politics

    1. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Its not politics, its effort. This is the best team Arsenal could put out. Ozil needs to leave, needed to a while ago ; needs to understand he’s not worth the wages he’s on.

      1. Nightcrawler
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Is he worse than 23 other players? No. Its politics plain and sinple

        1. Nightcrawler
          6 years, 21 days ago

          Not saying he shd be starting. He is good enough to be on the bench still

  17. Pep Roulette
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Who will replace Digne in the next 3 games, any idea?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Chilwell for me mate!!

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Chillwell

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Does it matter. Everton dint have squad depth. Time to wildcard

    4. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Sorry but I meant in Everton's team!

      1. have you seen cyan
        6 years, 21 days ago

        lmao

      2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Ooops haha, Duncan Ferguson maybe

    5. Sarnab
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Nkounkou

    6. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Probably just one ; it’ll be rescinded to a yellow.

    7. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Difficult given injuries- perhaps Delph moves back

    8. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Cheers everyone

    9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Baines?

  18. Chucky
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Best replacement for Digne?
    Have TAA and Saiss

    A) Chilly
    B)Semedo
    C) regulon
    D) Diaz
    E) Creswell

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      6 years, 21 days ago

      A for me mate, Zouma maybe a shrewd option too

      1. Chucky
        6 years, 21 days ago

        thanks

      2. ivantys
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Hate to admit but Zouma is really dangerous during corners. Good chance to outscore VVD from corner goals.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      A

    3. AA
      6 years, 21 days ago

      E for me.

  19. GOATMEAT
    6 years, 21 days ago

    How essential is Kane if you have already Son? I find it really to fit Kane in but I'm afraid of he hauling again.

    1. Chucky
      6 years, 21 days ago

      You can't have them all.If your strikers are scoring then there is no need to change

    2. Fred54
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Find out at 10PM tomorrow.

  20. dark91
    6 years, 21 days ago

    West Brom's A.Hegazi joins the Saudi side Al Ittihad Club on loan for 1 year
    (Might be interesting news if you are among the 0.5% who own him)

  21. ivantys
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Bamford and Kane going up 0.1

  22. Brosstan
    6 years, 21 days ago

    What an absolute dross half of football. Arteta has single handedly turned Arsenal into a chore to watch

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 21 days ago

      No idea what Arteta sees in Saka, this kid has been mostly wasteful.

    2. Qaiss
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Auba needs to play in the middle and Laca in the bin. Laca has been here for 3 years and done absolutely nothing. Ruining a lot of attacks and not clinical.

  23. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    A) Lamptey
    B) Konsa
    C) Masuaku
    D) Ayling

    1. jimski
      6 years, 21 days ago

      A

  24. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Lamptey owners really deserve a 17 pointer tomorrow

    1. Fred54
      6 years, 21 days ago

      I'm mentally preparing myself for a YC and subbed off at half time.

    2. FFSbet.com
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Need something like that after TAA + Bamford > Lamptey + Kane(-4)
      23points to cover

  25. FFSbet.com
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Everton 0.29 xG DCL 0 shots...what happened there,Sou that good or Richa big miss for them?

    1. Cojiro
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Need Rich making the runs for them

    2. Nightcrawler
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Not as much no rich as it was the presence of siggy

      Just a bottom half championship player now

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Rich Coleman missing, right back was targeted by SOU

    4. F4L
      6 years, 21 days ago

      injuries and suspensions

    5. FFSbet.com
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Cheers

  26. Cojiro
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Thoughts on Jota as an FPL prospect? The new Firmino but Oop and cheap?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      You don't know he's even going to be starting over half the time.

    2. FFSbet.com
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Looking good but minutes are problem

    3. F4L
      6 years, 21 days ago

      no point. Can see him starting midweek then benched vs West Ham

  27. Heiro
    6 years, 21 days ago

    People still hanging onto Werner.

    Got him but just can't see why he will suddenly produce away to Burnley.

    Time to get rid?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Crazy to get rid of Werner imo.

      1. Heiro
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Xg and Big chances created are a depressing read in the members area.
        What makes you think he's gonna show up bs Burnley?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 21 days ago

          He's a feast or famine forward. When he scores, he almost always gets a few. Fixtures breed form. I think I'd be patient with him if I had him.

  28. Scrumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Free transfer burning a hole in my pocket... suggestions appreciated

    Martinez
    Robbo, Chilllwell, Saiss, Lampety, Mitchell
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Foden, Podence
    Jimi, DCL, Brewdog
    2 FT, 0.9mill ITB

    1. Heiro
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Probably saving and using both next week on Robbo and Jimi to Kane and Cheap def

    2. F4L
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Martinez to Mendy

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      6 years, 21 days ago

      No interest in Kane given he will be a popular captain?

      1. Scrumper
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 21 days ago

        V interested in Kane, options I'm considering to get him in for Jimi are

        Sterling -> Rashford or Bale (spurs triple attack :-s )
        Or Robbo -> Cresswell

    4. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Podence > Bowen

      1. Scrumper
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 21 days ago

        Interesting... I was considering Podence & Brewdog -> Bissuma & Antonio, but this might be cleaner

        1. Werkself
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 21 days ago

          Yeah. I'd keep the 2nd transfer in my pocket. Between Covid-19 and compressed fixtures it's nice to have the extra transfer.

  29. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Will Mitchell be out of the starting 11 soon? Should I ditch him or Lamptey?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      6 years, 21 days ago

      If PVA plays LB, probably.

    2. Klaren
      6 years, 21 days ago

      He moved to RB last match when PVA came in so possibly not. Unless you are on a WC, I'd keep for now.

  30. kime67
    6 years, 21 days ago

    Could do Digne to Robertson with my free transfer but should i get chilwell instead? My rank is not that good and Robbo could be a bit different. Idk

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 21 days ago

      Do you have any plan with about 1.5M excess if you picked Chilwell?

    2. kime67
      6 years, 21 days ago

      not really.
